For any neophytes , and i mean that with all respect , if you don't know the story of the USAs , here's an excellent chance to hear it . It was a great listen , as you hear from those who watched the show from the audiences looking up , and then Bob telling the tale from the stage looking out , at the audience .

In my opinion it was one of PBWs top 10 shows of all time .

On a side note , many of those NPC Nationals , which ran currently year in year out , were set up by default , of those who didn't win the USAs.

All said with No Disrespect to the Nationals .

I've traveled to many nationals to watch, but never witnessed a USA , as i found the Nationals to be a more exciting show to go see , but still loved the USAs.
